Minister Assures Resident Doctors of Allowance Payment Amid Strike Threat

Minister of State for Health, Iziaq Adekunle Salako, urged resident doctors to be patient as their allowances were being processed through IPPIS. The federal government assured doctors that their payments would soon reflect in their accounts.

The appeal came after the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors issued a strike ultimatum due to unmet demands. Salako emphasized the importance of dialogue in resolving disputes in the health sector and acknowledged the challenges faced by healthcare workers.

The government's commitment to addressing the doctors' concerns was highlighted amid growing tensions.
